President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to shun corruption.
The President made the charge on Tuesday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, at the book launch on “A decade of Impactful Progressive Governance in Nigeria authored by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Tinubu said this while assuring Nigerians of better days ahead saying, “Nigeria’s economy just turned a corner, and you will receive prosperity; those talking negatively about this country should stop saying so.
“Just be patient, as all Nigerians will feel the prosperity in due time; don’t be corrupt.”
He also pushed back on claim by American talk show host Bill Maher that Christians are being systematically killed in Nigeria.
“There’s no religious persecution in Nigeria. It’s a lie from the pit of hell. I have always believed in good governance, and since I assumed office, I have focused on your welfare. Today, Nigerians can confidently say we have well-equipped hospitals, and we can treat critical illnesses such as cancer,” he said.
